THE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Four Men Arrested on Suspicion and
Taken to San Antonio.
ON THE TRAIL

ON THE TRAIL.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN. TEX, May 2l.-Interest in the
train robbery is undated. The Travis
County Constabulary under command of
Deputy Sheriff Plat have all been out on
the trail of the brigaDds since
the attack on the train.
They sre understood to be acting in con-
junction with a similar force from Will
hanson county, under Sheriff Oliver one
of the bravest and most experienced
officers in the state, and who is used to
hunting and shooting desperadoes when
necessary. The three suspicious men seen
near Taylor skulking in the bottom of
Brushy creek were undoubtedly some of
the bandits, who are believed 20 have
scattered as soon as the Doodle was di-
vided in their camp, traces of which ep-
peared on the ground where they cooked
their supper, broiled their bacon
and burned some greenbacks in
their hurry. The charred remains
met the eager gaze Of their pursuers.
It was first believed the entire body of
the thugs went west towards Burnett.
1t was reported thev turned east towards
the Yegua bottom, which furnishes plenty
of timber for hiding. Whatever way
they went it is not probable they will
long elude the vigilance of
the officers. The state government
is determined on the capture
of the brigands. Governor Ross to-day
issued his proclamation offering a reward
of $500 per head for their capture. 1t is
understood that the whole police machin-
cry of the state will be put in motion to
catch them.
NO ARRESTS MADE.

long gilt maces and deliberately carved
swords or spears, around whose points
we're cooled gilt lizards, snakes and flaming
dragons. A number of tall banners that
sprang twenty feet in the air preceded
another heavily armed battalion attired In
brightest yellow and carrying weapons,
no two of which were alike. Immediately
preceding the mighty Joss, Tan Wong,
was a band of musicians sounding huge
gongs and kettle drums, while a body of

worshippers, clad in light yellow, carried
Tan Wong, who sat in a high chair.
About him and around him trod attend
ant Chinese in long black satin robes that
swept the ground. They we're accompan-
led by incense bearers whose censers were
hung from the ends of long red poles.
Following Tan Wong was a dragon one
hundred and seventy five feet long and
described as the most gorgeous ever seen
in America. He was supported by sixty
worshippegs. This monster opened its
mouth, writhed its body and by apply
ances only known to the Chinese kept up
a general outward appearance OF being
possessed of life and as though desiring
to devour the spectators viewing its con-
t%ortions. The idol will be placed in a
i%oss-house to day to be worsbipped.
